New York, June 21 —A special to the Times from Frederick, Md., June 26, 9 P. M. says: I have just returned from the vicinity of South Mountain battle-field, thirteen miles distant from here. From persons who left Boonesboro this afternoon, I learn the rebels have all left that place. Anderson’s division of Longstreet’s corps, which arrived there Wednesday night and encamped, left yesterday morning, taking the Waynesboro road toward Chambersburg. The force was estimated at from seven to ten thousand infantry, cavalry and artillery, accompanied by a large wagon train.
The whole of Longstreet corps had crossed the Potomac, and was advancing in different directions into Pennsylvania.
There were but few rebel troops at Hagerstown yesterday, all having gone so Pennsylvania. Lee and staff are on this side of the river.
